Agnese and Stefano are profoundly different. She is only seventeen, lives with her mother – a harsh and devoted woman – is a regular church-goer and is about to take a vow of chastity to last until marriage.

Their unexpected meeting engenders a true sentiment, made of little stolen moments and mutual help.

Nevertheless, nothing could stop her dream of becoming the first female lawyer in Italy.
